Introduction

Welcome to Writerfolio! We start every new member relationship with a contract. The following contract spells out what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you. We intend this to be the legal equivalent of your signature on a written contract, and equally binding. Only by agreeing to these Terms will you be able to access and use the services available on this Website. Use of our services is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law. We require that users be eighteen (18) years of age or older. Our services are not open to use by minors.

Access and Services

These Terms govern your access to and use of our services, including our website, email notifications, applications, and any information, text, links, graphics, photos, audio, videos, or other materials or arrangements of materials uploaded, downloaded or appearing on the Services. By using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms.

System Rules

You agree to be bound by certain rules which are important for the proper use of this service. Your failure to follow these rules, whether listed below in the contract or in bulletins posted at various points in the system, may result in termination of your service. First, do not tell others your password or let your account be used by anyone except yourself. Second, do not attempt to log in more than once at the same time on any given account without specific permission of one of our operators. Third, while you should feel free to express yourself, you should respect other users of the system and not do anything to attack or injure others. Fourth, do not use our system to commit a crime, or to plan, encourage or help others commit a crime, including crimes relating to computers.

Privacy Considerations

Your communications on this system are, in most cases, viewable by the general public. Certain communications may be viewable by only yourself and the intended recipients. However, as system operators, we may need to review or monitor your electronic correspondences through our system and other communications from time to time. In addition, we reserve the right to copy and distribute to third parties any information associated with your activities or account on the system. Therefore, you should not expect to have a right to privacy in any of your communications or in any material you post to Writerfolio.
